Diamond Daze is a bright, playful quilt that’s perfect for busting your scrap stash. This beginner-friendly  free pattern includes directions for lap, queen, and king sizes, with the featured throw measuring 72" × 72". Using the TQM 5½" Triangle Tool makes half-square triangles fast, accurate, and stress-free — no math headaches, just fun piecing.
What makes this quilt extra eye-catching is the way the bold black strips frame each block — creating a dimensional, almost 3D effect that makes the colors pop and the design dance across the quilt top. The contrast adds depth and movement, making Diamond Daze a true conversation piece whether it’s on a couch, bed, or wall.
The pattern is written in clear, step-by-step language for first-time HST makers and includes links to short video demos that show exactly how to use the Triangle Tool. Scraps, charm squares, or small yardage all work beautifully — the quilt’s lively, scrappy look is part of the charm.
This is a free digital PDF download — perfect for a quick weekend sew or a relaxing stash project. Quilters of all levels will enjoy putting Diamond Daze together.
